Jordan,
LN is an integral part of a good heat treatment. To discuss exactly how I do, would probably not be prudent on a public forum, but I would say that every steel will benefit from a cryo treatment: hardness, ductability, structure, all improve.

Pass-arounds are hard to do at the present time as I owe a bunch of work and embark on new projects to stay competitive.

I however plan to offer ready-made knives in different steels on a regular basis. This will allow me to keep prices for ready-made knives where they are now.

There is one or two 225mm in A2 in this batch, so I hope a review will be upcoming and other ready made will include more of it, as well as PM#1 and PM#2. As more knives are out there, maybe folks would consider a pass-around.

I do solicit an input from everybody who gets a knife from me, so the feedback helps me with minute tweaks.
